Jake's Review: This book was totally sic (old person note: this means cool, awesome etc) mom, can you pick me up some more of these. I loved it, there are all sorts of cool gadgets, a robotic dog and awesome monsters. It was really exciting and I didn't want to put it down. The robotic dog, BC, was super cool and I wish I had one. Other boys like me would like to read this since it is a really quick read with lots of pictures. I think even Brian, who hates to read, would actually liked it.

Jake's Rating:10/10

Mom's Review: Good book for reluctant male readers or even as a beginning chapter book for the younger but more sophisticated boy. If Jesse could read, he would probably like. I could not get into it, but it is not my thing and I am not the target audience. But hey if it interests reluctant readers and they read it, its all good. I do think it will appeal more to adventuresome boys and not so much to girls (I know its sexist). The big font, cool diagrams and funky illustrations (even a couple of comic looking pages) will really appeal to the intended audience. I know Jake will totally be bugging me to get more of the series.
Mom's Rating: 7/10
